How awesome was this day!! Thanks to all parent drivers...we couldn't have done this without you. We are so fortunate to be able to view such interesting sea life...or are we? Let's have this debate online. How did you vote today? Do you think there should be aquariums, zoos, etc. or not? Give reasons why or why not, then challenge the classmates you disagree with. Gr. 7s I need to know who would be interested in leading a sports day station. This would mean that you would stay at the one station and run the activity for the rest of the intermediate teams.. Have a look below at some of the amazing sites we saw today. See yesterday for homework. Important Dates:
June 8 Hot lunch June 9 Talent Show June 10 Clayton Leaders visiting June 11 Library books returned June12 Sports Day June 17 Clayton June 18 Grade 7s to Clayton/Tweedsmuir for scavenger hunt June 19 Fun Night June 22 Playland June 23 Pancake breakfast for Grade 7s June 24 Grade 7 final assembly (around 9:15)

I think it's ok that animals are put into zoos or aquariums.You wouldn't want animals just wandering around in the forest. I think the zoos and aquarium is a safe place to keep the animals because what if the animal doesn't have food to eat but when their in a place where people are taking care of them and love them, they will provide just enough food. When animals are put into zoos and aquariums its becomes an awesome place for people to visit cool animals!

I think that animals should not be kept in zoos and aquariums because if they are out in the wild they have no limits to where they can and cant go. A lot of animals are hunters, in a zoo or aquarium they cant hunt or get food when they are hungry. When animals are trapped in a cage, if one of them gets sick or gets a virus it can spread to all the animals. Also if the animals are put in a zoo for awhile and they are let out to the wild they will want to interact with people, and most people probably don't want a lion or tiger coming up to them when they are walking.

Exactly, animals should be kept in zoo's and aquariums. They don't have to stay there their entire life but it depends on why they are kept there. I think that the main reasons why are for studying or doing research on that animal, learning new things from that animal, or animal injury. But once they have helped that animal they should defenitely be set free to where they actually belong. Had a fun time at the aquarium today! See you guys tommorow! Another day of learning!

I don't think that putting animals in zoos and all those is as bad as people make it up to be. Yeah, it's not good at all when they're harmed, abused, not properly looked after, etc... But the over all view of it most zoos and those don't just go take for example the whales at the aquarium they're there because if they got put into the wild they would die from being kept there for the reason of injury they arrived. So yes I do think it's fine for the animals to be in these facilities, but only if it's for reasons of injury or something like that.

I think animals could be kept in zoo's and places like that depending on if they are hurt or not meaning if they are injured, wounded, or caught in a fishing net. If they aren't then I don't think so because it's not fair to them to have to kept in a tiny small inviroment like a cage.

I think that animal should only be in captivity in zoos and other similar places if they are treated very well and kept happy. I think only small portions of animals should be kept in places like zoos. Instead, maybe we could try creating more businesses where we see the animals in there natural habitats, but keep it safe for the species.

I agree with 2BArunner! I think animals shouldn't always be held in captivity, but if an animal is wounded I think that it is okay for zoos or aquariums to have the creature. I think healthy animals, if they are happy should be held at zoos or aquariums as well, but not huge amount of the animals. Although the animals are mainly there for our enjoyment, we should make sure the animals are enjoying it as well.

I think that it is ok if the animals are in captivity as long as they are taken care of and in a natural environment. I said no to todays question because it didn't specify what animal. It just said animals. So that could mean putting dogs,cats,horses,snakes,rabbits,hamsters,goldfish, or etc. Harmless things that we may see everyday. But I think that if you tried and the animal refuses then listen to the animal. Don't just do it for publicity do it for the animal. If they are rescued or injured fine its great thanks! But if they are perfectly fine in their habitat, then I don't understand. So no not all animals should be kept in captivity but it would be a cool scientific exploration to see wildlife we don't get to see.

I think it's fine if they're indangered, the workers are able to make them un-indangered. Otherwise I think it's bad, no matter how big their cages are. I don't think it's right.

animals shouldn't be kept inside places like zoos or aquarims becaause it's bad for them to be kept in closed places

I have a very strong feeling that animals should not be put in zoos! Because if you did not know we are technically animals, too. But it's not like we are put into cages and be left for entertainment. Animals are just like us!!!!!!

My idea was this game where you use two mats and try to get across an area of space before the other teams WITHOUT touching the ground with your feet. I also understand how late I am with this but I hope there is still room for me to do this activity for sports day. Have a great weekend everyone we are expecting a heat wave😑
